Celebrities across the world are campaigning against US gun laws after a horrific Florida school shooting, but now Bette Midler has taken her protest to a whole new level.

Those that have been following my site for a long time can pretty much attest that I have been posting almost every day since October 2002. That’s a fucking long time. I really did keep my promise, but missing a day here and a day there. I published on holidays, vacation, and even if I had a horrid migraine. And I loved doing it and still do. I have a lot more I want to do with the website that will keep me busy for years,

Everything had been going pretty smooth until last year, Before then the only times I was sick was with either a migraine or a sinus infection. Nothing serious. Also I had always had perfect bloodwork. Everything was as it should be. Then suddenly last year, when I visited the doctor’s office my blood pressure shot up into the stroke levels and I had to be put on meds, but they were not working as well as planned. So I had to make some lifestyle changes, I dropped a lot of caffeine, started exercising, eating better, and I even dropped all social media. I have a fake FB page so I can help out on the Bette Midler page on there. I don’t have any family or friends on it and I never post, I do have an Instagram acct but I barely use it, Social media was killing me mostly because of politics and I just couldn’t deal with it anymore, It brought out the worst side of people, even people I admired, I was just sio let down. When I deactivated my accounts I felt a heavy burden lifted off of me, And my blood pressure started going down. But I still have to take meds.Read More
